Hi guys, last Friday was my first time at the track and was only able to do a 15.005 at the quarter, I have a stock 08 touring 6spd. the altitude is 925 ft over sea level, it is summer here and was around 100 degrees that night.
I ran on stock tires ( 18 inch rim )

Are these times ok for being the first time and the above conditions and
what times you think an experience driver should get ?


Regards..

 

We are 600~ ft over sea-level here in San Antonio, and I still ran a 13.8 with a crappy 60ft. You should be much faster than the time you got. These cars run stock 13.1-13.8

 

Wowza!

 

Post your time here. I think you are #32.

that's a terrible time for first time driver on an 08.. you should be in the low 14's as a beginner and then in the 13's as you get better...

 

Actually 44. Almost off the list.

 

Oh jeebus I was thinking 14.005. Oh hell take #44.

 

yeah stock 03'z up here at 6000ft run 15 flats...
you should be around 14 flat if you are a decent driver.
a good driver should be around 13.5 which is fast for stock z.

 

13.5 is slow for an HR IMO @ sea level

OP-post your timeslip breakdown

 

learn to drive my friend. it all takes time and experience behind the wheel.

 

Thanks for your input guys, actually Im happy about your comments cause it means my Z can do mid to low 13´s, I mean I know those are magazine #´s but now you proven its possible, again that was my first time at the track so I should be posting better numbers soon.

 

You did OK. Much better than our champion bench racers who have never posted a time. 100 degrees is accurate? That takes a toll on you and your car.

 

hey i tought i might put this out there...i took my completely stockat the time, 07 enthusiast to the track a couple of months after i got it and this is what i got in 1/8th of a mile. unfortunately i dont have a quarter mile around here..at least within a 120mile radius... oh btw i am on the left, #2951 (on the side note, i know my reaction time was horrible that run) lmao but the time wasnt all that bad IMO

 

This is an approximation of 1/4 miles stats.

 

haha interesting! well i know i can break into the 13's! esp now since i have the nismo dual cai! im about to go to the drag stip again and compare my times. thanks for this calculation

 

Thats a terrible start.. you should be running 8.6ish in the 1/8th with a good 60ft.

 

Like everyone said that is a terrible 1/4 time. I ran better times with a low input knock sensor lol. U just need to practice and u should be good. HR Z should be in the low-high 13s.

 

lmao sure buddy.

 

I'm not kidding man...

Here this is the Fiancee's timeslip.... compare the 1/8th mile and 60fts...

You get a good launch and your time will drop more than you would believe.

 

He speaks the truth man,its just that most of the Z drivers suck
